Moreover, Wushang Village was isolated from the rest of the world, and the villagers were extremely united. In the army, this quality would become absolute loyalty and obedience, and on the battlefield, it would become excellent teamwork and teamwork.
The five thousand Wushang cavalry came and went like the wind and fought fiercely, their strength far surpassing that of the other soldiers, including the Turkic cavalry and the Ouzan highland barley soldiers. Moreover, they could coordinate with each other as if they were on their own. If Wang Chong's mastery of the art of war was added to the mix, one could easily imagine the power of this force on the battlefield!
This was a force that Wang Chong had always wanted to obtain.
The calamity had not yet occurred, so there was still a chance.
"We're here. The village is up ahead! I still need to give the wujian grass to Thirteenth Granduncle, so I can only bring you up to here. "
Just as he was deep in thought, the little girl in front of him suddenly spoke. After saying that, she turned around and skipped ahead. There, a group of people from Wushang Village had gathered together, and a young man who seemed to be their leader was talking to them.
The girl walked over, pointed at Wang Chong's group, and began to chatter with the young man who seemed to be the leader. The young man turned his head to glance in the direction of Wang Chong's group, a sharp light flashing through his eyes. But he quickly turned his head back and nodded, as if agreeing to something with the girl.
"Haha, Seventh Brother, I'll leave everything to you. I'll be going first! "
The girl excitedly called out as she waved at Wang Chong's group. Then, with her large chest on her back, she excitedly walked off in another direction. In just a few moments, she had vanished into the rubble.
"Get ready! There might be a fierce battle coming up!"
Wang Chong suddenly said.
"Ah?!"
"But didn't that girl already tell us what to do?"
Gao Feng and Nie Yan were flabbergasted. On their journey here, they had already gotten used to the girl clearing the path for them. All the people who came up to investigate had been blocked by her. Why did they have to attack the moment they left?
"Don't worry too much. Just do as I say."
Wang Chong said faintly. He flicked his sleeves and did not panic. With a smile, he took the initiative to walk towards the group of Wushang youths on the square made of stone slabs. Wushang's trip had come to an end here.
Wang Chong knew very well that his words and the box full of wujian grass were as good as it got. What's more, the person he met was a guy with sharp observation skills.
On the opposite side, the "Seventh Brother" the little girl mentioned also strode over.
However, unlike the gentleness he displayed in front of the little girl, Seventh Brother's expression was much sharper and colder in front of everyone.
"Surround them!"
Seventh Brother waved his hand, and the first thing he did was surround Wang Chong and the others. Swoosh! The group of Wushang youths who had been following him leaped up as if they were flying. In an instant, they had surrounded Wang Chong, Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and the dozen or so guards from the capital.
"Careful!"
Clang, clang, clang. Cold light unsheathed. Almost at the same time, the expressions of Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and the others changed, and they immediately moved to protect Wang Chong.
Seventh Brother glanced at the swords in the hands of Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and the others, his eyes full of contempt.
"The outsiders that Ninth Uncle and the others spoke of are you, right? Friends of the Patriarch … hmph, your words can only deceive Xiaoyan! Recently, the village has captured several outsiders. You're probably here for them, right? "
Seventh Brother's gaze was extremely sharp. With a glance, he could see into the hearts of Wang Chong and the others. Hearing this, Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and the others paled.
"Hmph, I was right, wasn't I? Put down your weapons and surrender, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, I'll kill them all!"
His last words were directed at his companions from Wushang Village.
"You dare!"
"Do you know who our young master is?"
"To dare attack an official of the Imperial Court is a capital offense!"
… …
Before Wang Chong could say anything, Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and the others could no longer hold themselves back, and the other guards also showed signs of anger. Wang Chong was from a clan of ministers and generals, the Young Marquis that the Holy Emperor had personally conferred upon him. Everyone in the world knew that he was the Son of Heaven's disciple and had an incredibly revered status.
These people actually dared to kill the nobles of the Imperial Court at the slightest provocation. They were simply tyrannical and lawless.
"Hmph, I don't know about the Imperial Court or not. I only know that this is our Wushang Village. You've intruded into our village and even brought weapons, so you must die!"
As Ninth Brother spoke, his eyes turned even colder. He raised a hand and waved it into the distance. Swishswishswish! On the distant practice grounds and the nearby cliffs, the bare-chested Wushang soldiers began to fly over, their gazes cold.
They moved with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, the area around Wang Chong's group began to flicker, and the number of people surrounding them increased by several times.
Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and the others all had cold expressions and were infuriated. From the stance of these people, they actually dared to attack them. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would have never dared to believe that there was such an arrogant faction in the Central Plains that completely disregarded the laws and dignity of the Imperial Court.
"Enough!"
Just when Gao Feng and the others were about to lose their patience, Wang Chong extended a hand and held them back.
"Leave this matter to me."
The people of Wushang were a staunch and honest character that was publicly acknowledged by later generations. A fierce horse would never be so easily tamed, and this was even more true of the people of Wushang.
Although Gao Feng and the others found this hard to accept, to Wang Chong, this was the true character of the people of Wushang.
"Qin Qicheng, you really haven't changed at all!"
Wang Chong faintly smiled, his first words causing the expression of 'Seventh Brother' to change.
"Just who are you? How do you know my name? "
Qin Qicheng's pupils constricted, his expression extremely stern.
"Haha, not only do I know that your name is Qin Qicheng, but I also know that you often violate the rules of the village and sneak out of the village."
Wang Chong smiled.
"Nonsense!"
Qin Qicheng's expression changed dramatically, and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably as if his secrets had been exposed.
"Brothers, take them down!"
Before the others could act, Qin Qicheng's body crouched slightly, and he shot forward like a venomous snake. Hum! Without any warning, steel clattered, and a ring of light fell from his body. In an instant, thick smoke rolled out and enveloped his body, blocking Wang Chong's line of sight.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, a pitch-black hand shot out of the thick smoke, leaving behind countless afterimages as it stabbed three times. Although it was just an ordinary body of flesh and blood, the sound of the five fingers stabbing out was like the sound of a sharp metal blade, and the slender fingers had a sword aura more than a foot long spitting out.
If he was stabbed by these five fingers, Wang Chong had no doubt that even steel would be pierced through five holes.
Ring of Illusionary Smoke!
Hand of Darkness!
Wang Chong recognized at a glance that these were the two high level techniques of Wushang Village. The Ring of Illusionary Smoke could confuse the opponent's vision, but it did not affect the cultivator in the slightest. Instead, it would increase one's agility and attack speed.
The Hand of Darkness could only be used in conjunction with the Ring of Illusionary Smoke. Once it was used, the entire arm would be as black as ink and incomparably sharp, like a sword.
Once one's vision was confused by the black smoke, it was very easy for the opponent to deal a fatal blow and kill them instantly.
Many of the people who had invaded Wushang Village had died to this move. But to Wang Chong, this move was like showing off in front of an expert.
Bang!
With just one kick, before Qin Qicheng could even get close, he was kicked into the air by Wang Chong. With a rumble, he landed seven or eight zhang away, sending rubble flying.
Weng, in that instant, the surroundings were completely silent. All of the Wushang villagers looked at Wang Chong, who stood out like a crane among chickens, with deep shock in their eyes.
Although Qin Qicheng was not the strongest or the most powerful person in Wushang Village, among his peers, he was definitely one of the more powerful experts. Moreover, it was not that the Ring of Illusionary Smoke and the Hand of Darkness had never failed, but it was definitely not like this, where they had been defeated in one move.
Most people did not even have the chance to see through the Ring of Illusionary Smoke and the Hand of Darkness before they were already heavily injured and captured.
"Where did Xiao Yan bring these people from?"
"The Ring of Illusionary Smoke and the Hand of Darkness cannot be so easily defeated. This kid is strange."
"Everyone, be careful. Don't be careless!"
… …
From all directions, the Wushang villagers looked at Wang Chong and the others with a completely different gaze than before. The youth in front of them, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, had a faint smile on his lips. Although he was young, he gave off the feeling that he could see through all of their tricks.
This made all of the Wushang villagers feel that it was extremely inconceivable.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Qin Qicheng, who was seven or eight zhang away, suddenly stood up from the ground with a carp flip. His gaze was as sharp as a sword as he locked onto Wang Chong.
"Impossible! I don't believe it. This is definitely a coincidence. Let's go again! "
Qin Qicheng gritted his teeth. Wang Chong's kick had greatly provoked him. With so many people watching, he could not maintain his dignity at all.
"He's still not as steady as before."
Wang Chong could not help but laugh in his heart.
After more than twenty years, the current Qin Qicheng was far from being as steady and insightful as before. He also lacked the strategic planning and calm leadership that came from experience.
"But this Qicheng is even more interesting."
Wang Chong thought.
He was used to seeing Qin Qicheng by his side, steady and mature. Suddenly seeing his old friend's reckless and impulsive appearance when he was young was a different kind of feeling.
"Boom!"
On the other side, Qin Qicheng did not know what Wang Chong was thinking. When he saw this outsider's smile, he only felt more and more angry and disgusted.
"Divine Ape Art!"
Qin Qicheng took a step forward, and black smoke surged out from all of his acupoints. In the next moment, his aura suddenly changed, and with a series of cracking sounds, his strength rose by several levels. From nimbleness, agility, and leaping, he became as heavy as a mountain.
"Roar!"
